Wind industry in Germany9

Economic reportGrowth in the wind sector –a global expansionThe wind industry is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic economic sectors.While demand remains high in Europe, installed wind power capacity is increasingrapidly, especially in Asia. Only the USA disappointed analysts and manufacturers in2010.In 2010, wind turbines with a totalrated capacity of 35.8 GW were installedaround the world. That is far more thanwas installed in Germany in the past20 years. According to the Global WindEnergy council (GWEC), turnover forthe industry was 47.3 billion euros.The newly installed capacity in Europewas 9.9 GW.In the USA, new installations in 2010 fellby half and in Europe the market as awhole eased slightly. In the EU in 2010,for the first time since 2007, wind powerwas not the form of energy production withthe highest newly installed capacity. However,analysts are not expecting a sustaineddownturn. The expansion of offshoreenergy in Europe is in full swing and thewind industry is opening up new marketsin Eastern Europe and Latin America.In 2009, the German wind industry wasworth 6.4 billion euros and was responsiblefor 17.5 % of global value creation.Whereas in the 1990s the industry wasmanufacturing primarily for the domesticmarket, it has since achieved an exportshare of 75 % and is now employing102,000 people in Germany.In 2010, the German wind market returnedto its 1999 level with additional capacityof just 1,551 MW. In the record year of2002, 3,240 MW of new capacity wasinstalled. The German Engineering Federation(VDMA Power Systems) believes thatthis recent downward trend is due primarilyto the long-term repercussions of thefinancial crisis, which had a huge impacton major projects. The trend in repoweringwas more positive. In 2010, 116 turbinestotalling 56 MW of rated capacity were dismantledand replaced by 80 turbines with atotal capacity of 183 MW. For offshore windfarms too, the newly installed capacityexceeded that of the previous year. In theGerman Exclusive Economic Zone, turbineswith a total capacity of 108 MW have beenerected. In Europe, this was a record yearfor offshore wind power with 883 MW ofnew installations.In the meantime, the industry is facing anupheaval. The business consultancy KPMGis anticipating takeovers and mergers inthe German wind industry. Above all, small10 Wind industry in Germany

and medium-sized enterprises will increasinglyseek to form alliances or be absorbedinto larger companies. Offshore projects inparticular could not otherwise be implemented.In Germany, 21,607 wind turbines with atotal rated capacity of 27.2 GW have supplied37 billion kilowatt hours of power,covering around 7 % of power requirementsin Germany. The wind industry is thereforemaking a significant contribution toachieving independence from importedenergy.Future prospects are also protected by thepolitical will to promote climate protection.Wind power is key to the implementationof the EU policy to increase the proportionof renewables in the total energymix (power, heat, traffic) to 20 % by 2020.According to a GWEC forecast, global windpower will reach a capacity of 2,300 GW by2030 and cover up to 22 % of the world’spower requirements. The industry is anticipatingthat the consequences of the economicand financial crises will be quicklyovercome around the world and that continuedgrowth will continue for more thana decade.Capacity installed worldwide per year in MWMW40,00035,00030,00025,00020,00015,00010,0005,00001,2801,5302,5203,4403,7606,5007,2708,1338,20711,53115,24519,86526,05638,61035,8021996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010YearSource: GWECWind industry in Germany11

Economic reportIndustry structure –the wind industry faces upheavalThe wind industry in Germany is shaped in equal measure by young companies andtraditional industries that are continually opening up new business segments withnew products and services. This means that the industry has become an importanteconomic factor in many regions. Now, these companies are facing a wave of mergersand takeovers.The majority of added value continues tobe created through the construction andplanning of wind turbines and the manufactureof components. This is alsoreflected in the numbers of jobs. The latestworkplace study carried out by the FederalMinistry for the Environment (BMU) showsthat with 84,800 jobs the majority ofemployment is attributable to investmentin new wind farms. 17,300 employees areoccupied with the maintenance and operationof turbines.The manufacturers of wind turbines andcomponents often come from the conventionalmechanical engineering segment. Asmedium-sized supplier companies, includinggearbox and generator manufacturers,bearing manufacturers, forges and foundries,they have moved into new fields ofbusiness in the wind industry. In addition,new specialist supplier industries havearisen, in the shape of tower and rotorblade manufacturers. Planning and engineeringfirms have specialised in the windpower market, as have companies in theareas of installation, servicing and maintenance.There are also measurement institutesand financial service providers.In some previously economically underdevelopedregions, the wind industry hasrejuvenated the economy. The constructionof wind farms has caused a number ofsmall and medium-sized companies to setup on the north German coast. The “HusumWindEnergy” trade fair has transformed aremote location on the North Sea coastinto an internationally renowned trade fairvenue, attracting thousands of industryrepresentatives every other year.At the traditional steel and mechanicalengineering locations in North Rhine-Westphalia,Saxony-Anhalt, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, foundries, steel processorsand gearbox manufacturers have tappedinto the potential of the wind industry andhave developed these areas into technologyand manufacturing centres for the sector.Today, the German wind industry consumes750,000 metric tons of steel everyyear – nearly three times as much as theshipbuilding industry.The coastal regions are currently experiencinga further boost thanks to the constructionof offshore wind farms. The port infrastructurehas started to be expanded here.The maritime industry is manufacturingspecial vessels for the construction andoperation of wind farms, and training andeducation centres are springing up foremployees in the offshore sector.The onshore wind industry gives citizens,public utility companies and other municipalenergy suppliers an opportunity foreconomic activity. By contrast, it is principallyinternational energy companies andother major enterprises who, alongside theinvestment companies, are involved in theoffshore wind industry.Observers believe the industry is facing astructural change. The business consultancyKPMG expects the trend to movetowards mergers and takeovers. It sayssmaller providers and suppliers are facedwith the challenge of forging new alliancesor being absorbed into larger companiesthrough takeovers.Wind industry in Germany13

Economic reportGlobal market – new marketsare gaining in strengthThe wind industry is well positioned in global terms. In 2010, according to the GlobalWind Energy Council (GWEC), new wind turbines with a total rated capacity of 35.8 GWwere erected, equating to a turnover of 47.3 billion euros. For the first time, morethan half of new installations were not in the traditional markets in Europe and NorthAmerica. Wind power is booming in China in particular. Here alone, new plants with atotal rated capacity of 16.5 GW were connected to the grid.Overall, the global wind industry recordeda slight downturn in 2010 compared to the38.6 GW that were newly installed in theprevious year. The principal reason was theslump in the US market and declining salesin Europe. At 5,115 MW, the US industryinstalled just half as much new capacity in2010 than in 2009. As well as the financialcrisis, uncertainty in the industry was alsoa factor. For a long time it was doubtful asto whether grant programmes that werecoming to an end would be renewed andthis was only resolved at the last minute.The US wind industry did not recover untilthe fourth quarter of 2010: after a weakthird quarter with only 670 MW, new installationsincreased to 3,195 MW in thefourth.Within Europe, the volume of newlyinstalled wind capacity in the former leadingcountries of Germany and Spaindropped significantly – Germany fell to its1999 level of 1,493 MW (excluding offshore),while Spain’s new installations fellto 1,516 MW compared to 2,459 MW in theprevious year. This was only partially madeup for by the emerging European marketsin Romania, Poland and Bulgaria and themassive increase in new offshore installations.In 2010, according to the EuropeanWind Energy Association (EWEA), 9,883 MWof new wind capacity was installed in theEU with an investment volume of 12.7 billioneuros – 7.5 % less than the previousyear (10.7 GW).Meanwhile, the wind market in Asia isbooming – especially in China. In just twoyears, the total installed capacity in Chinahas more than tripled to 42.3 GW. Thismeans that China has also overtaken theUSA (40.18 GW) in terms of total installedcapacity and is the market leader for thefirst time. The Chinese Renewable EnergyAssociation is expecting wind capacity inits country to reach 200 GW by 2020. Whatis more, China has become the world’s largestmanufacturer of wind turbines andaccessories. However, China appears to bea closed market for the time being. Fundingmechanisms from the Chinese governmentprimarily benefit domestic companies.The German wind industry has always beenwell represented on the global market.While sales on the home market fell in2010, they continued to hold their leadingposition internationally. The German WindEnergy Institute (DEWI) recently calculatedthat the export share for the German windindustry was 75 % in 2009. German windturbine manufacturers turned over 6.4 billioneuros in 2009, constituting 17.5 % ofthe global market.Because the expansion of wind energy isalready picking up speed in many targetmarkets with good potential, German manufacturersare anticipating that the internationalmarket will become increasinglysignificant for them in the future. Accordingto a survey commissioned by BWE, theGerman wind industry currently sees thebest market opportunities in regions inwhich it is already represented and thatalready offer large volumes. The Chinesemarket is seen as a gateway to futureAsian markets in the medium term.14 Wind industry in Germany

Economic reportOnshore – the domestic marketbecomes a pioneer market againThe German market maintains its outstanding position as a domestic and referencemarket for turbine manufacturers and their suppliers in Europe. German manufacturersare able to draw on two decades of experience in establishing and expanding windenergy. The home market remains a showcase for the world leaders in technology. Theearly construction of the first wind farms means that Germany has now become one ofthe pioneers in the area of repowering.In 2010, the German wind turbine marketfell by 19 % as a consequence of the economicand financial crises. In addition,many suitable wind farm sites are alreadyspoken for. Nevertheless, the onshore marketin Germany continues to be considerablylarger than the market for turbines atsea: of the 1,551 MW of newly installedwind capacity in 2010, just 108 MW camefrom offshore turbines.Although areas for constructing wind farmson land are restricted, the significance ofrepowering will increase in the next fewyears – that is replacing smaller, technicallyoutdated wind turbines with biggerand more powerful, modern plants. Withthe 2009 amendment to the EEG (GermanRenewable Energies Act), repowering hasbecome more attractive. Wind turbineoperators receive a repowering bonus of0.5 cents per kilowatt hour in addition totheir EEG remuneration. This allows significantlymore power to be generated withfewer turbines at established wind farmsites.In 2010, according to the investigations ofthe German Wind Energy Institute (DEWI),116 wind turbines with a total rated capacityof 56 MW were dismantled and replacedby 80 turbines with a total of 183 MW. It isconceivable that this type of activity willincrease in the next few years. Repoweringis particularly worthwhile for wind farmsthat were established at high-wind sites,such as on the North Sea and Baltic coasts,in the 1980s and 90s. The rated capacity ofa wind turbine in 1995 was 472 KW, todayit is touching on 2 MW.For the owners, it is often worth dismantling,selling and replacing turbines whenthey have served between 12 and 15 yearsof useful life. BWE estimates that by 2015at the latest, over 9,500 wind turbineswith a capacity of 6,000 MW will reachrepowering age. This equates to an investmentvolume of 40 billion euros.Following initial installations, there is anopportunity for Germany to become a pioneerand reference market for manufacturers,suppliers, planners and operators inthe area of repowering too. However, toachieve this it will be necessary to overcomereservations among local residentsand restrictions in building regulations. Forexample, height restrictions for turbines inmany municipalities prevent any usefulconversion of wind farms, as do minimumdistance requirements in some Germanstates.16 Wind industry in Germany

Economic reportOffshore – Germany slow totap potentialWhile onshore wind power has been a well established branch of the industry for years,the offshore branch is only now gaining momentum. The commissioning of the “AlphaVentus” wind farm in spring 2010 marked the start of Germany’s expansion into windpower generation at sea. The twelve wind turbines have a rated capacity of 60 MW. TheGerman government intends that offshore wind power should outstrip onshore powergeneration in the long term.Investors and wind farm operators havefound more stable wind conditions off thecoast than on land. Depending on thelocation in the North Sea or Baltic, windparks are able to achieve up to 4,000 fullloadhours per year. This means that theenergy yield offshore can be double that ofa comparable onshore plant. However,expansion in this area has been sluggish inGermany compared to other Europeancountries.In mid 2010, offshore wind farms with atotal rated capacity of 2.2 gigawatts wereconnected to the grid in Europe. This isroughly equal to the level of onshore windpower in 1995. The UK is leading the waywith an installed capacity of 1 GW anddevelopment licences have already beenissued for a further 44 GW. In 2010, thebusiness consultancy KPMG confirmed thatthe UK had the most attractive remunerationrates – and these were recentlyincreased. What is more, the UK has beenable to reduce bureaucratic obstacles inrecent years. The authors of the studytherefore believe that the UK is at anadvantage in the competition for Europewideinvestors, banks, manufacturers andsuppliers.The German government wishes to cut thisadvantage and significantly increase theexpansion of German offshore wind power.In its energy concept passed in September2010, it specifies: “To expand offshorewind power to 25 GW by 2030, a total of 75billion euros must be invested.” To achievethis goal, up to 1,500 MW must be addedeach year – this equates to one new windturbine a day during the summer constructionseason at sea.The Federal government intends to fundthe first ten offshore wind farms to overcomethe initial difficulties and to facilitatethe implementation of new technology.In 2011, the loan bank KfW(Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) is grantingloans totalling five billion euros atmarket rates as part of its special “OffshoreWind Energy” programme. Whereas previouslyonly the four major energy supplierswere in a position to bear the investmentrisk, SMEs and public utility companiesshould benefit above all from the KfWloans. The government is also establishingthe legal framework for connecting windfarm clusters – a type of multi-way socketthat is intended to connect new offshore18 Wind industry in Germany

Economic reportTechnology – turbines get biggerthanks to high-techWind turbines have continued to grow in size over the past few years. On average,turbines that were erected in Germany in 2010 had a rated capacity of just over 2 MW.According to the German Wind Energy Institute (DEWI), half of the wind turbinesinstalled in Germany fell into the 2 MW class and a further third into the 3 MW class. Thisprogress is enabled and supported by continuous innovation in design, construction,components and maintenance concepts.It takes a modern turbine less than amonth to feed into the grid the power thatcould be generated in an entire year by aturbine installed in 1995. Back then, turbinescould achieve a rated capacity of600 kW and a rotor diameter of 46 metres.Today’s top-class turbines now achieve arated capacity of 7.5 MW with a rotor diameterof 127 metres and a total height ofnearly 200 metres. That is enough to supplyaround 6,000 households with power.Meanwhile, the industry is preparing forthe next class of modern turbines. Somemanufacturers are already designing 10 MWturbines and scientists are speculatingabout 20 MW turbines.For years, wind turbines have achieved anearly constant availability of 98 %. Toensure that this high standard is maintained,the majority of modern turbineshave condition monitoring systems. Here,sensors monitor components in the drivetrain to diagnose faults before damage iscaused to the turbine. They are connectedto the manufacturer’s or service provider’scentral control computer. Operators canuse this to better plan service operationsand maintenance logistics. In offshorewind farms, where unexpected faults andfailures at sea cannot be remedied asquickly as on land, monitoring systems arealready standard.In addition, gearless turbines have recentlybeen experiencing a renaissance. In thistype of design, the rotor drives the generatordirectly. This means that there is noneed to convert the slow rotation of therotor in light winds into a faster rotationusing a gearbox. According to informationpublished in neue energie magazine, theworld market share of the capacityinstalled in 2009 from gearless turbineswas 16 %. This technology is also used inthe top-class turbines generating 7.5 MW.The weight of turbines – and therefore thematerial costs – has also reduced considerablyin relation to performance. As well asthe common steel construction, towers arenow also built in a mixed design comprisinga concrete base and steel upper part.Lattice towers are also making a comebackand can reach heights of up to 160 metres.The rotors too are undergoing continuousdevelopment. This has allowed noise emissionsto be reduced, for example. And tokeep light disturbance at night to a minimum,the navigation lights for air trafficcan be integrated in the rotor tips.Wind industry in Germany21

Economic reportFinancing – the investmentslowdown begins to pick up paceThe construction of large-scale wind farms on land and at sea requires enormousinvestment. The financing for these large projects is often covered by major energysuppliers with sufficient capital resources. However, municipal utility services are alsoincreasingly investing in their own wind turbines and taking shares in offshore windfarms.The financial and economic crisis has had asignificantly smaller impact on the windindustry than on other branches of business.However, a study by business consultancyKPMG confirmed that the banks havebecome more reluctant to issue loans foroffshore wind farms. The banks havereduced their commitment to less establishedmarkets and have increased risk premiumsfor loans. According to the study,this has had a significant impact on theGerman wind industry, because the proportionof investment from major energy supplierswith high capital resources is relativelylow here.In contrast to the UK, many medium-sizeddevelopers in Germany have permits foroffshore wind farms and are dependent onfinancing for their projects. While internationalenergy suppliers own 72 % of theproperty rights in UK offshore farms, inGermany this figure is only 39 %. In Germany,28 % is apportionable to developers,8 % to financial investors, and 11 % eachto turbine manufacturers and municipalsuppliers – all double the figures for theUK. In Germany, the trend is for municipalutility services to invest increasingly inwind power. They see this as a way ofbecoming more independent from themajor suppliers and of achieving theirmunicipal climate objectives.In the energy concept passed in September2010, the German government announcedthat, as an exceptional measure, it wouldfund the first ten offshore wind farms. In2011, the loan bank KfW (Kreditanstalt fürWiederaufbau) is making available five billioneuros in loans at market rates in aspecial programme for the offshore sector.These KfW loans are aimed in particular atSMEs and municipal utility services. Backin 2009, the EU launched the “OffshoreWind Energy Programme” in the wake ofthe financial crisis, making available 565million euros for the development of offshorewind farms.Meanwhile, the majority of turbines continueto be installed on land. Onshore,wind power remains a secure investmentwith stable general conditions. Lastly, theincrease in the EEG remuneration rate in2009 has improved profitability at onshorelocations too. BWE believes that continuityis essential in this regard. The US government,for example, did not commit to itsfunding mechanisms that were due to runout at the end of 2010 until late in theday, only making its decision in midDecember. The uncertainty of potentialinvestors was one of the main reasons forthe sharp decline in new installations inthe US in the 2010 financial year.Ownership ofoffshore wind farms7 %72 %1 % United Kingdom4 %4 %3 %8 %12 %11 %39 %Germany11 %28 %International energy supply companiesDevelopersFinancial investorsOffshore wind turbine manufacturersLocal energy supply companiesOtherComment:All approved OWFs (EEZ and 12-mile zone) inGermany and all approved and pre-consent OWFsin the UK; multiple counting where several partnersfrom different investor groups are involvedSource: KGMGWind industry in Germany23

Economic reportEmployment – sound employer withgrowing importanceThe importance of the wind industry as an employer continues to grow. In contrast tonearly all other branches of the economy, development in the wind industry remainedstable even during the recent economic crisis. From 2004 to 2009 alone, the numberof employees increased from 63,900 to 102,100 according to the Federal Ministry forthe Environment (BMU). Of these, 17,300 jobs were attributable to maintenance andoperation. It is expected that a large number of jobs will be created, in particular inthe offshore sector.According to a recent study by EWEA,250,000 new jobs will be created throughoutEurope in the next decade – thisequates to about 450 jobs every week. At37 per cent, most jobs are being createddirectly by manufacturers. Together withsuppliers of components such as gearboxes,electronic circuitry and towers, they providetwo-thirds of all direct jobs. Projectdevelopers, research and development centresand specialist service providers alsoplay a role in creating jobs.Like other branches of the renewable energiessector, the wind industry is in a solidposition. An ongoing research project bythe Federal Ministry for the Environmenthas determined that the entire renewableenergies sector was responsible for340,000 jobs in Germany in 2009 – a figurethat researchers say considerably exceededtheir original estimate.The authors of the study anticipate thatthe positive trend will continue, statingthat over half a million people in Germanycould be working in the renewable energiessector by 2030. They say that even if youtake into account the loss of purchasingpower that the subsidization of windenergy entails from a macroeconomic perspective,it still results in jobs being created.Compared to an energy supply that islargely without renewable energies, theambitious expansion of wind, biomass,solar, hydroelectric and geothermal powershould result in a distinctly positive neteffect on employment.The growth of offshore wind power thathas just begun will play an important rolein this. EWEA expects that offshore windpower in Europe will provide work for morepeople than the onshore industry by 2025.The number of direct jobs would then be177,000 onshore and 192,000 offshore.However, the largest rise in employment inGermany over the next few years will be inproduction – in particular for export – andservice.Offshore wind power is already creatingjobs in the maritime industry and in theservice sector. A new breed of service providersspecialising in the operation andmaintenance of offshore wind farms is currentlyemerging in Germany – from personneland material logistics to conditionmonitoring and safety training.100,00090,00080,00070,00060,00050,00040,00030,00020,00010,0000Employed in the wind industry2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009AllYearPercentage of manufacturers and suppliers(directly employed)Source: BMUWind industry in Germany25

As an export industry, the German windindustry benefits from political will to protectthe climate. Companies in the industrynow judge this to have a solid foundationoverall.

Economic reportGrid integration – Europe’s powersupply depends on the expansion ofpower gridsThe course is set for a reorganisation of the energy supply in Germany and Europe. Windand other renewable energies are to be rapidly expanded. This means that the Germanand European power grids need to change. They need to be able to transport energyfrom the power plant capacities that will be installed on the coast and out at sea tothe consumers inland. However, grid expansion is taking longer than planned.Approximately 3,600 kilometres of new380-kV high-voltage lines will be requiredin Germany by 2020 in order to cope withthe increasing amount of renewable energybeing fed into the electricity grid. This wascalculated by the German Energy Agency(dena) in part two of their Grid Study publishedat the end of 2010. The expansion isnecessary because, thanks to the increasein wind power production, a large proportionof power is generated in regions witha relatively low demand for electricity, suchas northern and eastern Germany.The studies represent an important basisfor the expansion of the power grid. Theywere conducted in collaboration with representativesof the wind industry and ofthe grid and power plant operators. In partone of the Grid Study published in 2005,dena concluded that 850 kilometres of newlines would have to be built by 2015. Todate, scarcely 100 kilometres have beenbuilt. The German grid as a whole currentlycomprises approximately 22,000 kilometresof high-voltage lines.The authors of the study investigatedvarious scenarios for the expansion ofthe grids by 2020. Instead of building3,600 kilometres of new high-voltage lines,existing lines could also be upgraded withhigh-temperature conductors. This optionwould only require 1,500 kilometres of newlines, but would be more expensive.The study also shows how the grids can befurther improved beyond simple expansion.The authors assume an installed wind powercapacity of 34,100 megawatts onshore and7,000 megawatts offshore by 2015. Fiveyears later, this would be 37,000 MWonshore and 14,000 MW offshore. To copewith this capacity, smart grids should beused to help disperse loads on the demandside. Because the production of wind andsolar power is subject to significant dailyand seasonal fluctuations, storage systemsshould act as buffers to absorb load peaksand troughs.One important step for the integration ofoffshore wind farms is the German InfrastructurePlanning Acceleration Act of2006. It obliges the transmission systemoperator to connect offshore wind farms tothe grid and allows them to pass on thecosts to all energy customers.Increasing priority is also being given tothe promotion of electricity trading acrossEuropean borders. The European WindEnergy Association EWEA sees this as acontinuation of the European vision: nowthat the free exchange of goods, services,capital and employment has become established,it would be in the interests of citizensalso to guarantee the free exchangeof energy.28 Wind industry in Germany

The German offshore wind marketis also served from the office in Hamburg.Number one in offshoreFrom the outset Siemens has played a keyrole in founding the offshore wind industryby installing the world’s first offshore windfarm in Vindeby, Denmark, in 1991. The 11turbines installed in this pioneering projectare still in excellent condition. The turbineshave consistently operated at high availability,reflecting the unique combinationof product quality and dedicated offshoremodifications.Siemens has not only supplied the world’sfirst, but also the world’s largest offshoreprojects. For several years, the 165-MWNysted offshore wind farm held the recordas the largest offshore project. In September2009, that record was broken by the200-MW Horns Rev II project. The 500-MWGreater Gabbard project, currently underinstallation, will raise the bar again. Andthe world’s first 1-GW project, LondonArray, will represent yet another stridetowards large-scale, green energy supply.All record projects – and allfeature Siemens wind turbines.Siemens also delivered the turbines forbaltic 1, the first commercial offshore windfarm in the German Baltic Sea. For thecoming years planning has started in Hamburgfor the offshore wind farms Baltic 2and for Dan Tysk with respectively 80 turbinesof the 3.6-MW-class as well as for theRiffgat wind farm with 30 turbines and atotal capacity of 108 Megawatt and BorkumRiffgrund 1 (89 turbines with 320 Megawatt).Wind industry in germany45

Long-lasting, service-friendlygearboxes are designed in close cooperationwith customers to reduce overall plantoperating costs. Within the group ofcompanies, Eickhoff benefits from strongvertical integration of manufacturing experience.The foundry for example has extensiveknowledge in metallurgy, which isutilized in making qualitatively high-gradecastings. The engineering team is highlycompetent in gear component manufacturingand casting machining as a result oflong-standing experience in the productionof high-performance machinery and gearboxesfor the mining industry.All complex gear components are designedfor safe normal operation and for occasionallyoccurring overloads with the aidof sophisticated FEM (Finite ElementeMethod) calculations. Adequate safety marginsare built in to ensure the plant cancontinue operating even under extremeconditions.Every gearbox is tested for all relevantparameters on the company’s test benches,and each successful test run is documentedby the Eickhoff quality seal of approval.Prototypes are additionally tested underextreme conditions (low temperatures,maximum overloads) and in specific(inclined) mounting positions in the drivetrain.68 Wind industry in germany

Production of gear teeth for a wind turbine gearboxEickhoff initiates projects together withits suppliers in order to develop a sharedunderstanding of quality. Working closelywith university institutions, the interactionsbetween the various components inthe drive train are explored to optimizetheir configuration and design. These findings,paired with our long-standing experiencein wind turbine construction, are thenapplied to the development of new projectsfor customers. Field trials are carried out onnewly developed gearbox prototypes underreal conditions at the customer‘s site.This process ensures that the best possiblegearbox solution is found for the drivetrain of a new turbine. Customers have adedicated contact person within the engineeringservice to deal with all technicaland organizational matters. Outside theusual business hours, customers can makeuse of a worldwide service hotline at anytime.The main focus is on ensuring the ongoingoperation of the wind turbines. Generally,the gearboxes can be directly repaired onthe tower. The experience that is gainedby the interdisciplinary group of expertsin turn encourages further developmentof new and series production gearboxes.The company’s service portfolio also comprisesall inspection and maintenanceoperations. In addition, customized servicepackages are made available upon request.The E-Goms system (Eickhoff GearboxOnline Monitoring System), certified in2004, is used for gearbox diagnostics.This system works on the basis of structure-bornenoise and torque measurementsand provides support to serviceengineers on site. In critical cases, therecorded data is transferred to specialistsat the Bochum diagnostics center fordetailed analysis.Gearbox rebuilds are carried out atthe parent company plant in Bochumand at the U.S. subsidiary in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania. The rebuild teams alwaysinstall the latest improvements to theoriginal design right up to comprehensiveupgrades.

Thus, an exact evaluation ofdisruptions and error messages is possible,allowing effective and cost-efficient service.From an environmental and economic pointof view, it makes sense to install electricalactuator solutions in a wind turbine, notleast because electricity is a clean and safeform of energy.Another advantage is that LINAK actuatorsconsume less energy than pneumatic andhydraulic systems. In contrast to hydraulicsystems, electrical actuator systems cannotleak any hydraulic fluids, which largelyeliminates the possibility of machine roomcontamination or the outbreak of fire.Hydraulic and pneumatic systems mustcontinuously be kept in operating mode.

This meansthat a Cyclo drive is also capable of withstandingmomentary, intermittent shockoverloads in extreme emergency situations.104 Wind industry in germany

[04]High efficiency withreduced operating noiseIn addition, the Cyclo principle leads tohigh performance, compact and easy tomount drive configurations that featurehigh drive transmission ratios. The transmissionratios of single-stage drives rangebetween 6:1 and 119:1, while three-stagedrives can even achieve drive transmissionratios greater than 1,000,000:1.The rolling action enables the torque to betransferred with minimum friction. Comparedto traditional spur gear units, thisreduces not only the thermal loading andthe operating noise but also providesgreater efficiency – even with high transmissionratios.

Basedon this principle, the companies VentotecGmbH, ITEC International GmbH and GHFmbH have already been working togethersuccessfully for over ten years. Together,this alliance is able to cover the entirerenewable energy spectrum. Helmer Steckerand Ralf Heinen have been instrumental indeveloping this area. In addition to theirpositions as Executive Directors of VentotecGmbH, they are also responsible formanaging the renewable energy alliancefrom Leer.Years of expertiseSince it was founded in 1985, GHF (Gesellschaftfür Handel und Finanz mbH) inLeer has been successfully designing andissuing mutual funds. By the end of 2010,GHF had floated 125 issues (72 shipping,15 special real estate and 38 wind energyfunds) with an investment volume of 2.6billion euros.Ventotec GmbH was founded in 1998. Originallyconceived as a traditional projectdeveloper, the company continues to providethe whole range of services in the areaof project planning. Ventotec’s many yearsof experience enabled it to respond quicklyand professionally to the massive interestfrom institutional investors in renewableenergy projects. This has led to variousprojects being implemented to date,including some with overseas partners.Ventotec is also responsible for the associatedproject funding, the structuring andprovision of which now count among itscore competences.The fact that Ventotec is taking innovativeapproaches here too was strikingly demonstratedin 2007. A portfolio to the order ofaround 250 million euros was successfullyfinanced by securitisation in capital markets.ITEC International GmbH (ITEC for short)specialises in the commercial and technicalmanagement of renewable energy projects.Founded in 2000, ITEC was originallyresponsible for the remote monitoring ofwind power plants set up for GHF funds.Years of experience and in-depth expertknowledge of monitoring a wide range ofsystem types have allowed the company toexpand its own range of services. In additionto remote monitoring, ITEC began takingon the commercial and technical managementof wind power plants outside itsown company alliance at an early stage.The company now looks after a portfoliowith a capacity of more than 380 megawatts,81 % of which is for investors outsidethe GHF fund.140 Wind industry in germany

[03]ProspectsThe company strategy is oriented towardsexpansion in the future too. For the comingyears, Ventotec is planning new wind farmsin Europe, e.g. in Spain, France and Poland,as well as onshore projects in Germany. InFrance, the first overseas wind farm initiatedby Ventotec is already feeding power to thegrid; other wind farms will follow here in thenext few years. Planning permission for someof these is already in place and a number ofthe wind turbines for the new projects havealready been ordered. As in the past, theworld’s leading manufacturer of turbines, theDanish company VESTAS, is one of the mainsuppliers for the wind farms planned byventotec. However, turbines made by GEEnergy, Fuhrländer, Enercon and Nordex havealso been used on a number of occasions.Intense exposure to a wide range of areassurrounding a renewable energy project continuesto open up new opportunities for thecompany. So, for example, the area of repoweringis becoming increasingly significant tothe alliance. In May 2010, Ventotec’s firstrepowering project was sold to a Danishinvestor group, as this project fulfils all therequirements specified by § 30 of the GermanRenewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) forreceipt of the repowering bonus.
